Opportunity Summary:
The 2009 National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 09HQPA0001) was a discretionary research grant competition administered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under CFDA 15.807, Earthquake Hazards Research Grants. It invited applications for research projects that support NEHRP's broader mission: reducing earthquake-related losses by producing practical products, information, and tools that can be used by both public- and private-sector decision makers. In addition to generating usable loss-reduction products, the program emphasizes research that improves understanding of earthquake occurrence and earthquake effects, which can feed into hazard assessments, risk mitigation strategies, and guidance for preparedness and resilience.
The opportunity was categorized under the Natural Resources funding activity area and used the grant funding instrument. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning applications were open to any type of entity, with the note that applicants should still review the full announcement for any clarifications or conditions described in the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which typically lowers the barrier to entry for smaller organizations, universities, nonprofits, or other entities that may not have dedicated matching resources.
Funding levels were relatively modest and aimed at supporting focused research efforts. Individual awards ranged from a floor of $15,000 to a ceiling of $75,000. The announcement was posted and created on March 12, 2008, with an application deadline of May 15, 2008. The opportunity was later archived on June 14, 2008, indicating it was tied to that specific funding cycle and was not open beyond the closing date.
For applicants who needed help accessing the announcement electronically or had questions tied to the application process, the listed point of contact was Jennifer Arnold, Grant Analyst at USGS, reachable by phone at (703) 648-7304 or by email at jlarnold@usgs.gov.
